: Is there any way to get the build date from the application?: : Also, is there any way to get the size, lines in code etc that you can find in Delphi for programmatic use?: As far as I know there is standard feature to get the build date. You could however write code, which stores the first-run-date in the executable. This way you have the first-run-date inside any compiled program. This could easily be used as a build date.As for the size and lines in the source code, these must also be inserted into the compiled program. There is absolutely no way to "de-compile" the executable back to the source code and thus get the size and line number of the source code. On a side note, what use can a user have in knowing that the program was n lines of source code in length?

How could this be done? I have no knowledge of such programming.

Ok I understand.

Nah just curiosa about the lines used, mainly for the numberfreaks outthere.
